"Apollo, Artemis, you're here.”
Demeter, the Goddess of Agriculture, smiled as she watched the young man and girl walk in.
This aunt was wearing a light yellow long dress. The thin material could not hide her full figure. Her beautiful face and tall figure exuded a graceful and noble aura.
On her knees sat a young girl who looked to be eleven or twelve years old.
Her light purple hair and light green eyes complemented her delicate and clear face that was as fair as jade.
The dark-colored short skirt added an indescribable mysterious aura to her. Her exposed white calves were slender and long. Although they were just flowers that were about to bloom, they were also full of youthful temptation.
"Sister Persephone."
Apollo smiled and greeted the girl on Demeter's lap.
Persephone blinked her green eyes and stared curiously at Apollo's golden hair.
"Persephone, be polite. Call Apollo big brother and Artemis big sister.”The Goddess of Agriculture rebuked her daughter.
"Big Brother Apollo, Big Sister Artemis, you're so beautiful."”
A smile appeared on the corner of Artemis's mouth. She bent down and leaned in front of the girl."Persephone, you're beautiful too.”
Looking at them, Apollo looked around.
He found a silver treasure chest beside the chair beside Demeter.
He walked over as if nothing had happened and put away the treasure chest with spatial magic. He said to Demeter,"Aunt, why are you like Aunt Hestia these years? You don't show up in Olympus much?”
"I just want to spend some time with Persephone…" Demeter said, but his expression was a little gloomy.
Apollo understood that as Hera's older sister, Demeter's personality was not much different from Hera's.
She even married Zeus before Hera and became his sixth wife.
However, the position of the Divine Empress ultimately fell into the hands of her younger sister Hera.
After that, she was forced by Poseidon to become a female horse and couldn't escape.
It was a very humiliating experience.
After that, she gave up the idea of fighting and became as indifferent and secluded as her elder sister Hestia.
"Let's not talk about it anymore. Apollo, your reputation on the earth has spread to all the gods.”
Demeter smiled."Two days ago, I went to Mother God's place, and even Mother God mentioned you. She said that she has the most famous grandson and asked you to visit her when you have time.”
"Grandmother Ruiya knows me too?”Apollo was surprised.
Goddess Ria was the mother of the second generation's Divine King, Cronus. She was one of the twelve Titans of the past, and she gave birth to Zeus and his sister.
Back then, the Zeus brothers were able to overthrow the Titans, and this goddess had also contributed greatly behind the scenes, but her reputation was not prominent.
As the second-generation Divine Empress, she wasn't as famous as the first-generation Divine Empress Gaia, and her presence wasn't even as great as the current Divine Empress Hera.
However, her status in Olympus was also extremely high.
Over the years, Zeus, Poseidon, and Hades had been able to maintain a harmonious relationship and maintain the rule of Olympus.
She played a crucial role in this.
"It's my fault that I haven't been able to visit Grandmother Rhya after being in Olympus for so long.”Apollo blamed himself. In a few days, he would have to trouble Aunt to take me to the other side of the city.”
"Yes, I was just about to bring Persephone to visit my mother.”Demeter smiled and stroked his daughter's purple hair.
Unexpectedly, Persephone puffed his cheeks and said unhappily,""Mother God, don't mess up my hair. It won't look good. Sister Artemis said that I'm the most beautiful.”
While Apollo and Artemis were laughing, she jumped off her mother's lap and went up to Apollo.
She opened her eyes wide and said,"Brother Apollo, Rhya's grandmother is very peaceful. She loves to tell me stories. She likes beautiful children like me. You are also very beautiful. She will definitely like you too.”
"I'm not as pretty as you, Persephone." Apollo was not very satisfied with them describing him as pretty.
He teased Persephone.
Suddenly, under the worried gaze of Artemis, his face turned cold.
…City of Delph.
Looking at the long white dress in front of her, Tekasha was a little dazed.
"Thirty years. To your eternal life, this should only be an instant, right? But I remember very clearly that I wore this dress in this palace and listened to your teachings.
Your every expression, every smile, is so full of life, those vulgar craftsmen, in their entire lives, will never be able to sketch out one ten-thousandth.”
Her appearance did not change much, but there was a hint of maturity between her eyebrows. Her slender hands stroked the patterns on her white dress as she muttered to herself.
Her beautiful face was filled with happy memories, but the corners of her eyes were wet.
After a while, someone outside reminded him,""Lord priest, the ceremony is about to begin.”
This time, Tesasha put down her white dress and looked at another long priestess robe.
"When I knelt in front of you and prayed, I promised to serve your statue for the rest of my life…Now I can fulfill this promise.”
Looking at his daughter who was dressed as a pure white holy priest, King Delph's expression was somewhat silent.
"Daughter, have you really decided? In the past, even though you were a priest of the church, you could still leave before the temple was built and you were not blessed by the gods.”
"If you really enter the temple today and become a virgin priest for life, then you will have to stay in front of the statue of the temple for thousands of years.”
Her father's sad words lingered in her ears.
A sweet smile appeared on the lips of the once-princess, who was now a female priest.
Staring at the tall statue in the distance, she said calmly,""Being able to serve him for life is the best place for me.”
Looking at the crowd around her, she clenched her right fist and tapped her glabella."Praise the light!"
The crowd became restless. One by one, believers raised their right fists and praised the light.
The sacred and solemn priest robe could not hide her graceful figure.
With a pious expression, she walked through the crowd to the altar in the middle.
The half-man, half-horse Chiron was already standing there with a solemn expression, his body radiating a golden light.
Staring at the dense crowd below, he announced loudly,""The ceremony for the completion of the Temple of Light begins now.”
Then, she walked to the center of the altar and looked down at the crowd with a smile.
"Before the ceremony begins, let us praise the great God of Light.”
She raised her right fist and tapped her forehead as she chanted.
"Great God of Light, you are the brightest star in the vast sky. You are the Lord of mercy and discernment. Your light will travel through the sky, the earth, the sea, and the hearts of all spirits…" The believers had solemn expressions as they chanted. Their sacred voices echoed throughout the city, as if holy voices had descended upon the earth.
At this moment, a cold snort suddenly sounded from the sky.
"Apollo is just a master god. What right does he have to own a temple that is taller and more majestic than the King of Gods?”
"Foolish mortals, you have crossed the line!”
"Today, I, Helios, the Sun God, will judge you!”
